Have something to say?

Bodhi must really suck. Even though there is an abnormal amount of articles created about the distro, as well as plugs in other articles, er responses to many of the articles about desktops, they are still near the bottom. Build it and they will come. Build a better desktop and people will use it. Build the same old thing with different graphics and I'm staying with what I already have. Add in an excessive amount of press and people associate it with a bad movie that is propped up with marketing overload.

Quoting:Even though there is an abnormal amount of articles created about the distro, as well as plugs in other articles, er responses to many of the articles about desktops, they are still near the bottom.

That rank is, of course, well-below Ubuntu, CentOS, Mint, Fedora, Debian, Arch and most of the top big-time distros.
Yet it remains more popular than a selection of better-known distros including Xubuntu, Zenwalk, Vector, and Peppermint.

And so what if the "abnormal amount of articles created about the distro..." indicates that the project's head maintainer is so avidly promoting his pet distro here and elsewhere ?? Any similar creator would do the same to increase his/her distro's usage, no?

Has anyone counted the number of Ubuntu articles in comparison to other distro articles? It's gotten to the point where if one single line of code is changed in Ubuntu, there is a flurry of articles about it, and frankly my dears, I don't give a d@mn. I don't mind reading articles about a distro if (1) I am interested in it, and (2) if it has any relevance or covers something different than past news.

And I would beg to differ...not beg actually but mention that Bodhi is not simply Ubuntu with E17. The creator(s) have added some nice tweaks to the system and contributed some clean changes in interface.

However, E17 is a radical departure from the more popular DE's or WM's. Hopefully, people will be curious enough to give it a look. I am running it on an ancient Fujitsu Lifebook with 384 megs of RAM and it works sufficiently.
